Minnesota

To help develop a comunity of drupal employers, workers and job seekers. I saw no group that existed, to help people who live in Minnesota. So I create this group, to help add to our support and help grow Drupal within Minnesota.

StudioE9.com is seeking a solid Drupal themer. We have a growing volume of Drupal theming / production work and we're looking for someone to work with on a regular basis. We're expanding our teams in the Twin Cities and New York!

You should be able to work with mockups and build out a custom theme from scratch or a popular starter kit, like Zen. Comfortable with theme-related module overrides if necessary, views theming, thorough cross-platform testing, experienced with jquery, and all things CSS. If you've ever themed the google mapping API for Drupal as well, that's a plus.

DESCRIPTION
This is a chance to break out of the big agency slow lane, escape roles that limit your participation and be truly involved with clients, teams and the projects on which we collaborate. In addition to project management and account management you will impact strategy and win new business. Forget layers of management - this position reports directly to the President, works directly with our other designers and developers doing the work, and just as directly with our clients.

The Nerdery is looking for a Drupal Genius. Specifically, we would like to find a programmer with skill in all aspects of web development and who is highly motivated and always learning. This developer should be a PHP guru with extensive Drupal 6 and 7 experience. This developer should be ready to expand her/his horizons. Most of all, our ideal candidate should be a team player. They should be excited to share their knowledge and experience with our 100+ developer team through collaboration, group work and peer review.

I'm looking to hire a junior web developer to help us out on a freelance or contract basis -- it really depends on how the volume of work we have fluctuates and if there's a good fit as the relationship develops. We've got more work that we can handle right now, with one of our staff members going on his honeymoon. Ten 7 has evolved into a five person development studio, and we work with creatives like graphic designers, UX specialists and interactive designers on a daily basis to make their visions a reality. We have a TON of fun doing it too.

Time for another user group meeting. We don't have a specific topic, so we are open to suggestions. We should have plenty to talk about, since so many of us attend DrupalCon last week. Leave comments with feedback!

Location:
Advantage Labs Offices in the IATP Building
2104 Stevens Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55404
Parking available on the street. Come around back to the ramp door to be let in or buzz us from the Stevens Ave entrance.

The Mobile Drupalbus Sprint to Drupalcon is coming up on March 6. Come help us organize the topics we'll work on during the sprint (e.g. module upgrades, documentation, general support, etc.) and make sure we've got any/all necessary planning and prep work set before we all set foot on the bus.

For non-riders, we'll need all the input we can get to help determine what will best serve our local as well as the general Drupal community. Perhaps we can even arrange some live virtual sprint participation for those unable to join us on the bus itself.

As always, the meeting will offer time for other questions, announcements, networking and, of course, pizza and your favorite beverages (please feel free to bring some for sharing).
